We tried changing the folder name, however that makes our servlet crash.
Couldn't find content.xml though; only admin.xml and manager.xml resides
under /conf/
.
The following error message is returned when trying to run the app:

note 



(We might get a response that says "well it's a badly coded app then" :)
however, since our java skills really aren't up to par, it would be
great if there was an easier solution rather than rewriting the app.)
